Frequently Asked Questions

LOUNGEVITA is a curated club for shared experiences, set primarily against the backdrop of the city of Lisbon. Instead of a fixed venue, we carefully select the ideal location for each activity — from auditoriums and cultural venues to gardens or partners’ spaces. This model allows us to offer exclusivity and the perfect setting for each theme, ensuring that the experience is always fresh and stimulating. Our permanent meeting point is our digital platform and our community’s WhatsApp group.

Important note: LOUNGEVITA Club does not provide medical, sports or therapeutic services. Our aim is to foster a community of people interested in living longer, healthier lives, based on sharing knowledge about healthy living and building meaningful relationships.

There is no minimum or maximum age limit. The LOUNGEVITA Club is aimed at people in the ‘second half of life’ who identify with our core values: Longevity, Health, Wellbeing and Culture. If you’re looking to live a full, active life whilst constantly learning, surrounded by like-minded people, this is the place for you.

Yes! We believe that vitality is best when shared. As a Circle Member, you will be entitled to guest vouchers allowing your guests to attend events at the member rate (1 or 2 per quarter, respectively). Additionally, friends of members are welcome to join our in-person events by paying the General Access rate, subject to seat availability.

Both types of registration offer access to our events, but only Members have no limits on the type and number of events they can attend. Non-Members may participate in up to 3 events to experience our concept and community.
Additionally, Members are the only ones with access to our WhatsApp community, where they receive frequent insights on Health/Longevity Science, Well-being, and Culture from our Curators, as well as the chance to connect and share with other Members. They also have access to our Digital Library with exclusive content, along with free participation in our social gatherings with interactive activities—our Vitality MeetUps / Encontros de Vitalidade.  

Please check the comparative table between Members and Non-Members under the “Being a Member” or “Register” menus. 

Yes. At LOUNGEVITA Club, we value your freedom and flexibility. You can request to cancel your subscription through your Member Area at any time. The cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing cycle (monthly or semi-annual, calculated from the day of the month your subscription began), ensuring no further charges for the following period. Until then, you can continue to enjoy all the club’s benefits.

We have two types of activities for members:

1. Included: Welcome Circle, monthly social gatherings (our Vitality Meetups, with interactive activities), and Webinars.
2. Paid: Experiential workshops, premium talks/lectures with specialists, or exclusive cultural visits. Members of the Circle always enjoy preferential pricing.

Yes, you can experience LOUNGEVITA Club before becoming a member.
We have created the General Access category for those who wish to get a taste of our community and event dynamics. For these sessions, a standard event fee applies, which is higher than the preferential rate available to our active Members of the Circle.

Yes, we encourage you to share the LOUNGEVITA experience. Guest access works in two ways:

1. ‘Member Price’ vouchers: As an exclusive benefit, our members can offer membership rate for other guests to attend our events, via quarterly vouchers (1 voucher per quarter).

1. Trialists: In addition to vouchers, you are always welcome to bring guests (non-members) at the ‘Non-Member Guest’ rate. To maintain the exclusivity of the group, each guest may attend a maximum of three events under this scheme. After the third session, we invite you to become a member so that you can continue to attend the Club.

Note: Some events are exclusive to Members with an active subscription.

The LOUNGEVITA Club offers a vibrant and varied programme, with around 4 to 6 events per month. This schedule has been designed to allow you to choose your own journey and the path that best suits your interests and availability, covering the areas of Health, Wellbeing and Culture, as well as social events.

You can keep up to date with all the latest news and plan your schedule via:

• Website and social media: Where we publish our highlights and quarterly calendar.
• Exclusive Channels for Members: Via our members’ platform and our WhatsApp group, where you’ll receive real-time reminders, extra content and links to priority registration.

This way, you’ll always have the freedom to choose the experiences that speak to you most, whilst staying connected to the community.

Absolutely. At LOUNGEVITA Club, the journey is yours. Whilst we believe that true longevity stems from a balance between body, mind and social connections, each member is free to take part only in the activities that most pique their curiosity. You can choose to deepen your scientific knowledge in the Health pillar, focus on inner balance in Wellbeing, or prioritise social interaction through Culture. Your membership gives you full access; how you use it is entirely up to you.

We promote the creation of a diverse and global community, integrating locals and expats, and we champion the importance of cognitive stimulation provided by practicing a non-native language.

• If an event has only Portuguese-speaking participants, the session will be conducted in Portuguese, even if the supporting materials have been prepared in English to enable everyone to participate.
• In mixed-language groups, the content will be presented in English, but with support and facilitation in Portuguese where necessary, ensuring that everyone feels included and at ease.
• There may be some events where the nature of the event does not allow for using two different languages; this will be clearly stated in the event details.

It’s very simple: just log in to your Member Area on the platform, select the partner you want, and activate your exclusive voucher. You’ll need to present this voucher (either digital or printed) when booking or paying at the partner’s premises.

Ambassador status is a special recognition awarded to members (Explorer or Voyager) who wish to play an active role in the growth and development of our community. Being an Ambassador means acting as a ‘connector’ between people and interests.

• What an Ambassador does: Organises social gatherings (e.g. walking groups, book clubs or themed dinners), welcomes new members at official events and helps promote the club’s values of longevity and vitality.
• How to obtain it: This status is not a subscription plan that you purchase, but rather a distinction based on your commitment. You can apply for it or be invited by the LOUNGEVITA team if you are an active member of the community.
• Benefits: Ambassadors enjoy greater visibility on the platform, access to co-creation meetings with the founder and the curatorial team (Health, Wellbeing and Culture), and free or discounted subscriptions and specific events, in recognition of their contribution to the club’s ecosystem.
